Yeah zoom is totally fine for work. I really don’t get why it’s for some so dramatically worse. At least on my team everyone has bought a real microphone and know how to share a screen. Cameras are on for <10 people meetings unless you’re taking a dump. 70% of the time someone is sharing the screen so everyone is paying attention to the same thing and they run fairly smoothly. We don’t have that many meetings - usually a standup for 15min and sometimes the more BS-y company or business unit meetings that are more awkward and waste of time. But that’s not that different from how it was in person.

For social stuff, yeah it’s soul killing.
